Nirvana - Simple, yet very powerful songs.
Faith No More - Experimental, bizarre.
Nine Inch Nails - The darker emotional side of music.

The three pillars of my musical tastes. Everything I like or will like in the future will more than likely stem from one of these three bands.

From NIN, I got into more of the intellecual, controversial, and "dark" artists like Marilyn Manson, Tool, and White Zombie.

From Faith No More, I got into anything experimental - mainly anything that Patton does, as well as a few other artists like MSI and John Zorn. Any music I create falls into this category as well. Patton works with a LOT with other artists like Dillinger Escape Plan, Sepultura, Dan the Automator, etc.

Nirvana is the biggest. I went both backwards and forward from there. Got into Zeppelin, Bowie (Bowie also a big influence on Reznor of NIN), later works of the Beatles. Post Nirvana - got into Alice In Chains, Sonic Youth, Deftones, System of a Down, etc.

Some of these blend into each other. For example, Mike Patton (of Faith No More) works closely with The Melvins, who were a strong influence on Nirvana. King Buzzo is in Fantomas with Patton, Kevin Rutmanis (bass) is in Tomahawk with Patton.

It's really interesting to see all these artists working together.
